I'm, erm, running naked down Whitehall for Médecins Sans Frontières (UK) because I made a pledge on TV & they won't let me forget.

We provide emergency medical care worldwide to people affected by conflict & disasters.

Story

I told the BBC's Daily Politics show in 2013 that I'd "run naked down Whitehall" if the Lib Dems were reduced to just 24 MPs at the next election.

Technically, that didn't happen. We did far, far worse. But a pledge is a pledge, as Lib Dems know only too well.

Plus former Sun editor Kelvin McKenzie has offered me £5,000 for the charity of my choice to see it through.

My charity of choice is Médecins Sans Frontières (Doctors without Borders). MSF deliver medical aid to the people who need it most, no matter where they are or whether they have hit the headlines. MSF UK takes no money from government; 99.9 percent of its funds come from private donors, like you and me - and Kelvin.

Full disclosure: I'll be substantially naked but don't expect a Full Monty.
